As a deal lover, I must remind you that this is only a 6% discount and you’ll tend to find better discounts and sales on other weeks. However, it is a great weekend to buy things that never go on sale. We used to buy all our lumber for our house projects on this weekend because it’s something we’d buy at full price often.
